This hotel is smack dab in Union Square, which is a perfect location for a tourist to San Fran. Although the room is very small, it is cozy and well decorated in soothing greens and browns. The room overall is very functional, with a very large closet so your bags don't overwhelm the room. The bathroom is also tiny, but... more

Management response from
Wes Tyler, General Manager

I appreciate the overall positive review and fair score, however, I would like to respond to a few misconceptions. First, I have never heard the lobby smells moldy. The front doors are open and people are coming and going constantly, so I don't even think it could smell moldy if we wanted it to. There is too much air moving...

We stayed at this Hotel after researching on this site and found it everything that people said and more. The location was excellent, staff were brilliant and the cookies were delightful. We could not work out why people had any complaints, the walkin wardrobe was very useful. Being a tall gentleman I found the bath one of the largest i've... more

Like in many big cities, finding a comfortable and decently priced hotel in the downtown of San Francisco can be a unsurmountable challenge. After reading all the good reviews on Tripadvisor we decided to try the Chancellor and we now have found our home away from home in SF. My wife and I booked a 4 night stay from the... more

The Chancellor exudes charm and character. The staff are exceptional and the location is as good as it gets - one min walk from Union Square. We stayed at The Orchard Hotel when we first arrived, it was twice the price and is further away from Union Square. Our room was compact but exceptionally clean and comfortable. This hotel reminds... more

Stayed at the Chancellor for 6 nights. It's location is ideal for seeing the city. You are right on Union Square and are close to all public transportation options. The onsite restaurant was a good option for breakfast and we found it better than a few of the breakfast spots within a few blocks of the hotel (Sears, Lori's Diner).... more

This is a great hotel right in the middle of San Francisco. The staff is very helpful. The rooms are clean and well furnished. Besides our bed at home the bed at the Chancellor is one of the most comfortable that I've ever slept on. My only complaint is that the walls seem a little thin. We could hear the... more

This was our first trip to San Francisco and we were delighted with this hotel. The location is perfect, it is so close to the shops and a cable car runs right past the front door! The room had modern decor, the bed was really comfy and it even had a jar of sweets in the room- nice touch! Another... more

As far as central locations in San Francisco go, you can't get it much better. As we had a room pretty high up on the backside of the hotel we were able to sleep with the windows open, without any noise penetrating from the streets below. The room had a walkin closet, with ample space for all the luggage we... more

Well, SF is pricey. However, I believe the Chancellor is a decent option within the under $200 range. Yes, the rooms are rather small, and the decor not as fresh as one would like. but it clean, and the location is probably one of the best in the Union Square area. So, the Chancellor is a very decently priced option... more
